Our MAIS curriculum will challenge you to think critically and deeply, enhancing your leadership skills
and vision for life beyond graduate school.

Supportive academic environment

You'll find yourself in an intellectual, supportive community of teachers and learners.
Our academic environment is highly interactive, with an average class size of 10 students.

Flexible format

We know you have a busy life — for that reason, MAIS courses are offered in a variety
of formats. While a good portion of our classes are held weeknights, with occasional
afternoons, we also offer weekend intensives and online classes.

The MAIS program was extraordinary. I was able to take classes that were not only
relevant to my work life, but to my personal life as well. It was also very enlightening
to share classes with such a variety of professionals.
